The place was in a very convenient neighborhood to commute to all the sights and eat good food! It’s literally around the corner of the Galata tower! The room was extremely clean and beautifully equipped! All the staff was incredibly nice and helpful! Especially the owner took the time to talk to us or help us out. She was very warm and authentically welcoming! We received a WiFi device for free to carry around for the whole trip. This way we didn’t have to buy SIM card, which was very thoughtful! The breakfast was very big and delicious. One night we were hanging out at the bar talking to the bar tender and he was really excited to show us the roof top for the incredible view. We loved staying at the Walton Galata and felt very comfortable. Thank you to all the staff. We are looking forward to coming back!

**Outstanding Stay at a Wonderful Hotel in Istanbul** I had the pleasure of staying at this fantastic hotel from February 20th to 25th during my visit to Istanbul, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and well taken care of. A special thank you to **Zeynep, the owner**, for her incredible hospitality and for providing me with valuable information that made my stay even more enjoyable. Her kindness and attentiveness truly made a difference. I would also like to express my gratitude to the entire **staff**, who were always professional and accommodating. A special mention goes to **Salim**, whose constant availability and kindness made my stay even more pleasant. The hotel itself is excellent—comfortable, clean, and in a great location, making it the perfect choice for anyone visiting Istanbul. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a warm and welcoming place to stay. I will definitely be returning on my next trip to Istanbul!

The place is quiet and clean. The staff is very cooperative, especially Mr. Salim, who is very cooperative. The location is very close to Galata Tower, in addition to the fact that the breakfast is very good and the hotel owner reviews all the details herself, and the breakfast employee is very cooperative and kind and fulfills your requests even before you ask for them.

The hotel is located on a hill and is difficult to reach on foot, especially with bags.Also during the morning the neighborhood is crowded as the area where the hotel is located is a commercial area.The rooms are not soundproofed you can hear what is going on outside the room

Hotel is conveniently located for exploring Istanbul. Easy access to all major tourist attractions. In the vicinity of Galata tower in a very vibrant area with lots of restaurants , bars shops. Few minutes walk to Istiklal . Short walking distance to Galata bridge, piers of Hasimpasha or Karakoy thus for ferry transport which we would recommend as favorable mean of transport for exploring wider Istanbul. Great hospitality approach starting from reception and particularly from owner Zejnep who really paid attention on our needs during our stay. Rooftop restaurant where good breakfast is served is additional plus to overall impression. Rooms spacious clean and comfortable.

I cannot say enough good things about the Walton Hotel Galata. Huge thank you to Zeynep, the owner, who was so warm and friendly, and the staff working during breakfast. Salim and Cihan were wonderful as well - so welcoming and incredibly kind and helpful. The location is great, too. The Galata area is not easily accessible by car, and not the easiest to get around for those with mobility issues (likely true for most areas in central Istanbul). However, I loved the neighbourhood and being in a central part of the city, but without being right in the Old Town (which is beautiful but a bit chaotic and even more touristy - I definitely preferred Beyoğlu/Galata). Also, the breakfast is absolutely worth it - I have hesitated at some other hotels because I thought I might prefer to get going a bit earlier and find breakfast in the city. However, here it is a huge, delicious Turkish breakfast - try the shakshuka (slightly spicy Turkish scrambled eggs) and sip a Turkish tea while enjoying the incredible views of the Istanbul skyline. I can’t wait to come back and do it again.

My recent stay at Walton Hotels Galata was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the warm hospitality and attention to detail were evident, making for an unforgettable experience. Location: Nestled in the heart of Istanbul’s historic Galata district, the hotel is ideally situated for both leisure and business travelers. Its proximity to iconic landmarks such as the Galata Tower, Istiklal Street, and Karaköy ensures easy access to the city’s vibrant culture, dining, and entertainment options. The nearby metro and tram stations also provide seamless connectivity to other key attractions. Accommodation: The rooms are tastefully designed, blending contemporary aesthetics with classic elegance. The decor is stylish yet comfortable.

The food in the roof top bar was nothing special.

The hotel is at great location, very close to Galata. The owner and staff were really nice and helpful. We were pleasantly surprised that the hotel gave us an Istanbul card and small wifi modem upon arrival, free of charge. That way we were able to have internet all time while exploring the city. Our room was the same as in photos, only bathroom need some renovation due to moisture and mold. Overall we enjoyed staying at this hotel and their hospitality is above all.

The breakfast was Turkish style, but with cheap salami and sausages and lots of jams and cheeses. You can order eggs and cornflakes but they really need to work on this as this is not something what would you expect from a hotel with this rating on the booking. Maybe a small buffet would be apropriate because one can choose what to eat and some quality food instead of cheap one.

The best thing is the staff. From reception team 24hrs available to the owner Zeynep. Everyone since the arrival wants to make sure you feel welcomed. Also the super nice lady of the breakfast service! The location is amazing, next to Galata Tower. The room facilities are super! Best hair dryer I ever had in a hotel hahaha They also give you a transport card to use during the stay and a free welcome cocktail!

At first they gave us a small room (perfect for one person I might say) next to the elevator which was a little noisy but without asking, the change us automatically to a bigger and not noisy one. Amazing service!

I had an amazing stay at Walton Galata for my 4-day birthday trip! From the moment I arrived, the hospitality was exceptional-the receptionist was warm and welcoming, even offering me a drink at their rooftop with breathtaking panoramic views. The hotel itself was spotless, beautifully designed, and my room was spacious, cozy, and had everything I needed for a perfect stay. A special highlight was the thoughtful birthday surprise from the owner, Zeynep—a delicious cake delivered right to my door, which made my stay even more memorable. I truly wish I had more time to stay longer! I highly recommend Walton Galata to anyone visiting Istanbul, and I will definitely be coming back on my next trip.
